The Beginning, Again
« on: February 17, 2013, 01:09:39 pm »

Some of you might remember my previous story, which was posted on my blog (www.elleshaped.com) and the thread for which was found here: Settling The Lucky Mountain in the forums.

Well, after some seriously ineffective attempts to reclaim the site and then a HDD crash which took the whole world with it, I've decided to start a new narrated story.

This new fortress is named Kilrudzulban, "Bronzebanners", and is located in the world "Tethaomon, "The Destined Realms".

Check out my blog for the first introduction (and to check out the last story if you missed it, of course.)

I'll put updates here as warranted.

I hope y'all enjoy this as much as I enjoy making them.

Post #2 is up, with an introduction to our starting seven.

I usually pay more attention to them than to the others (except those who distinguish themselves by actions or by gruesome demises.)

I'm already working on the third post, which includes our very first artifact in the new fortress!

Stay tuned; the milder the beginning, the more brutal the eventual violence, I've found.

After all, great things have small beginnings...

Another post!

Bronzebanners turned one year old last night, and a summary of the (very boring) first year is up at my blog.

By way of a teaser, here's the annotated diagram of the ground floor:

Quick note... apparently my mayor is obsessed with traction benches. She keeps mandating their production.

I already have one in my hospital. What possible use could she think I have for them?!?

I guess Bronzebanners is going to be the regional source of traction bench exports.

How the heck do you market them?!?

You have a mayor already?
I don't typically get them until at least year 3.

Yeah, I was surprised too, but sometime during Summer 252 mandates started popping up and I check and, sure enough, the expedition leader was elected Mayor.

You cannot trade traction benches...

He can, unless mayor forbid... Atomsmashing and MAGMA are solutions always.

Yeah, the point is moot since the mayor forbade their export.

So I just built five of them in her office. I hope they give her a horrible paranoia about getting compound fractures.

Also,

<---- = she.
